729. Chapter 729

Fangzhen finally calmed down after Zhaoyang drank. She didn't know why the princess became so close to Lu Yaoyao. Now they both had to shut up when talking. She was so nervous today that she forgot about this.

Seeing that Fangzhen didn't actually listen to much, Zhaoyang calmed down and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Princess..." Fangzhen spoke in a low voice, "There is a nun in front who claims to be from the palace and wants to invite you into the palace."

What? Zhaoyang and Ye Zhen looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts at the same time.

"Who wants to invite the princess into the palace?" Ye Zhen remembered that she just told Mo Rongzhan about this matter yesterday. Could it be that he wanted to find Zhaoyang? Probably not. She felt that Mo Rongzhan would not do this.

Fangzhen said cautiously, "That person said she was the Queen Mother."

Ye Zhen was startled, "Queen Mother?"

Zhaoyang frowned in thought, but what came to mind was that Mr. He came to see her this morning.

"What's going on? Why does the Queen Mother want you to enter the palace?" Ye Zhen asked Zhaoyang in a low voice.

"I don't know either. No matter what you want to do, you have to go to the palace." Zhaoyang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Zhen, reassuring her that there was no need to worry. Going to the palace was not necessarily a bad thing.

If it were the former Queen Mother, Ye Zhen would naturally not be worried, but now the Queen Mother's temperament is too unpredictable, how can she rest assured, "You go to the palace first, I will go to the Emperor later."

Zhaoyang smiled and said, "Do you need to be so nervous?"

"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded vigorously, and after leaving the door, she whispered to Hong Ling, asking her to go to Ye's house quickly and tell Ye Yiqing about the Queen Mother's meeting with Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang was not nervous at first, but seeing Ye Zhen acting like she was facing a formidable enemy, she couldn't help but start to worry. She didn't know why the Queen Mother was looking for her.

"Yaoyao, what are you worried about?" Zhaoyang asked, holding Ye Zhen's hand.

"I'm worried that Mr. He has already entered the palace to find the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother now has a grudge against both father and me. She may target you specifically. No matter what, you must be mentally prepared." Ye Zhen whispered to Zhaoyang. .

Zhaoyang nodded heavily, "Maybe the matter is not as serious as you think."

"I'm just in case." Ye Zhen didn't dare to say that she had a bad premonition. Her intuition had always been very sensitive.

"Then I'll go to the palace first." Zhaoyang said.

Not long after Ye Zhen left Zhaoyang, she took Xue Lin into the palace to find Mo Rongzhan.

Since the last time she entered the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, she had not entered the palace again. It was not that she did not want to come, but she felt that the Queen Mother did not want to see her.

In the palace, Qianqing Palace.

Morongzhan was discussing things with the cabinet ministers. Ye Zhen knew that he was very busy recently and was unwilling to disturb him at this time. She was also worried about Zhaoyang's situation at the Queen Mother's place, so she couldn't sit still and walked around the hall. of.

Eunuch Fu walked in from outside hurriedly, "Princess, why didn't you let me know when you came?"

Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor is talking to the cabinet ministers, so I just want to wait for him here."

"The affairs of the Emperor and the ministers cannot be finished in a short while. The Emperor has been in the imperial study for most of the day, and it is time to rest. Just wait, I will go back to the Emperor." Eunuch Fu said, feeling in his heart I think the emperor will be very happy if he knows that the princess has entered the palace.

What Morong Zhan was discussing with the minister was the matter with the Beiming Kingdom. During the last battle in Liusha City, the Beiming Kingdom did not dare to despise the Jin Kingdom anymore. It planned to negotiate a peace with the Jin Kingdom and wanted to send the princess over for marriage, but the princess must Marry the emperor.

This matter only reached Morong Zhan today. He suppressed it and did not discuss it in the court. However, the cabinet ministers still knew about it and were in the imperial study room persuading the emperor to agree to Beiming Kingdom. In this way, he could also communicate with Beiming Kingdom. The kingdom of Hades is at peace.

"This matter does not need to be discussed again. I will not agree, so let's do it!" Murong Zhan listened to the persuasion of several ministers, and finally refused impatiently.

"Your Majesty, this is the best way for us to negotiate peace with the Beiming Kingdom. Our Jin Kingdom finally has a peaceful life. We can no longer let the people live a homeless life. I beg the Emperor to think again." A minister knelt down and begged. .

A sneer appeared on the corner of Mo Rongzhan's mouth, "Six years ago, in order to please the Beiming Kingdom, the late emperor sent our princess from the Jin Kingdom to get married. Every year, he also gave countless gold, silver and jewelry. Now there is no princess to send. Are you planning on asking me to sacrifice myself?"

When these words came out, all the ministers in the imperial study were so frightened that they knelt down.

"I'll say it again, I don't need to rely on marriage to protect the Kingdom of Jin. Do you all hear clearly?" Murong Zhan asked coldly.

Mr. Xu, who was kneeling at the front and never advocated a marriage, flashed a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "I obey."

Morong Zhan remembered what Ye Zhen said last night, "There is one more thing. I want to prepare a decree and announce it to the world."

Mr. Xu raised his head and looked at Mo Rongzhan, "I wonder what the emperor is referring to?"

"You all get up." Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "Do you still remember Princess Zhaoyang who was sent to Beiming Kingdom for marriage?"

"Princess Zhaoyang? Marrying Princess Lincheng of Beiming Kingdom?" Mr. Xu immediately remembered. He was the person who was most opposed to this matter at the time.

Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Beitang Cheng wrote a letter of divorce to Zhaoyang before he died. Now Zhaoyang has returned to Kyoto. Since they reconciled before Beitang Cheng died, she does not have to replace Beitang Cheng." As a widow, I will issue a decree to allow her to marry freely in the future without being restricted by anyone."

"How could Beitang Cheng...how could he have written a letter of peace and separation before he died? This is a great disrespect to our Jin country!" A minister immediately shouted displeased.

"I don't think he is disrespectful to Jin Guo. He just feels guilty for Princess Zhaoyang and doesn't want her to be a widow for him." Murong Zhan said coldly, "Prime Minister Xu, I leave this matter to you."

Mr. Xu joined his hands and accepted the order.

"But, Your Majesty..." Some people felt that this matter was inappropriate. How could a princess be allowed to remarry? It was the royal family who was being rude.

Mo Rongzhan glanced at them lightly, and everyone immediately did not dare to speak.

"I'm saying this once. Our Jin country definitely doesn't need to use marriage to ensure peace. Zhaoyang has been wronged on behalf of our Jin country. The only way I can compensate her is to let her marry freely. It doesn't matter if she wants to remarry or not. No matter what, she is the princess of Jin Kingdom." Murong Zhan said coldly.

"Everyone, please step back!" Mo Rongzhan waved his hand.

Eunuch Fu came in from outside and whispered in Mo Rongzhan's ear, "Your Majesty, the princess has entered the palace and is in the side hall."

Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly, and his tense face relaxed.
